1 This schedule lists state-supplied childhood vaccines and is consistent with the recommended age range of CDC’s Childhood and Adolescent Immunization Schedule (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/child-schedule.htm). CDC recommendations for individual vaccines are available at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/default.htm.

2 State-supplied HPV4 vaccine is recommended for routine use in females beginning at 11-12 years of age, and permissive use in males 9-18 years of age. A “permissive” vaccine recommendation implies that vaccine should either be provided upon parental request or proactively offered during office visits. In contrast, a “routine” vaccine recommendation means that vaccine should be proactively provided as the standard of care. At this time, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) does not recommend HPV4 for routine use in males or as part of a vaccine “catch-up” campaign.
